Foreigners views of racism in Japan

In Japan, there was some kind of discrimination since old days, such as racial discrimination, especially the Chinese and Korean, and a hamlet discrimination as you can see in the article, "Which minority groups face the worst discrimination?" which was written by Shaun McKenna. However, in recent years, there are some people who discriminate the handicapped by their looks or behavior. A person who becomes the focus of discrimination is generally a person who is in a weak position, what is called, "bully the weak."

Still, are these things only happen in Japan? Is discrimination exist simply in Japan? I do not think so. That is asking for too much labelling the Japanese as racism. It is some kind of prejudice that to have a general idea of Japan is cold-bloodedness race.

There is a response to this article :

"Ebb and flow discrimination" which was written by Mike Dewood. He said that it depends on the place where a person lives whether he/she gets discriminated against or not. That is true. It can be said that healthy Japanese should not be discriminated in Japan. However, in fact, there are some Japanese who are discriminated because of their disorders. Therefore, it cannot be declared absolutely correct. As Americans are discriminated in Japan, Japanese are discriminated in America. Discrimination are scattered all over the world.
